It would be great if the memory could be extracted and engraved on a carrier like a video disc.
In this way, she can play it over and over again, experience it, and live in that memory as many times as she wants. She doesn't have to worry about her brain making the same mistakes that humans inevitably make every time she recalls it.
:For example, what details have been forgotten, such as a certain part has been changed unconsciously...The memory left behind in the end may be completely different from what really happened back then.
If Xie Feng had a choice, she would play it over and over again, exactly the time she spent with Dong Luorong on the cruise ship on that rainy night.
At the moment the cruise ship started, both Xie Feng and Dong Luorong experienced the same feeling: it was as if the thick cloth that had been covering their faces for a long time was removed, and they were able to breathe freely for the first time. Outside it was
The heavy rain, the vast ocean, the dark night, the escape route with no place to stay, and the shadow of doom hanging over my head - but everything is so good.
If this is the end of the world, then Xie Feng will open his arms and jump into the end.
The outside world was so vast, encompassing possibilities she could never imagine, but there was no more restraint and oppression; she had the strength and ability to let herself face the sea breeze and collide with the waves - Xie Feng imagined,
She will hit the metal with a reverberating sound like a yellow bell.
What's more, there is Dongluorong.
Before meeting Dong Luorong, Xie Feng actually had not realized that her old nineteen years were gradually shrinking and drying up. Dong Luorong did not save her life - she reached out to pick up Xie Feng who had lost his old life.
It lived like a mother's birth canal, sending Xie Feng into new life.
How could there be a suitable word to describe this feeling? Xie Feng was very doubtful about it. Such a feeling was so unusual that it must have escaped the scope of words.
She and Dong Luorong danced lightly in the heavy rain, the record containing strange music, the strong wine mixed with sea water and rainwater, the crisp sound of the wine glass when it was knocked lightly, and Dong Luorong's laughter when he tilted his head back.
Voice……
Xie Feng was willing to replay all the memories that happened in these few hours over and over again until he met the patrolling warship.
At that point in time, she would go back and start from the beginning, starting from when she yelled the snake head out, play it again, and watch it again.
However, people cannot control—at least most of the time, they cannot control their thoughts.
The sound of heavy rain has never been so loud before, hitting the sea surface almost furiously, causing the waves to tremble and sway, and every current seems to have its own will, trying to break up and scatter everything they see.
Waves that are not particularly violent for ships can make people feel so desperate when they are thrown into them - what happened? When Xie Feng coughed and emerged from the sea, deep in her mind
Still confused.
What happened just now, was she dreaming?
Under the dark heavy rain, on the dark sea without a trace of light, raging waves like mountains rose one after another. Xie Feng used all his strength to push through the undercurrent in the depths, cut through the waves of water, and with each wave crashing towards her
She fought against the incoming waves; she broke through the layers of water curtains and swam desperately in the direction where the ship was hit. She didn't even realize that she had been screaming loudly and calling Dongluo Rong's name.
How could a small yacht like that used by human traffickers to secretly transfer their prey be a rival to patrolling warships?
So before setting off, the smuggler explained to her several times that their route completely avoided the coastline patrol. He didn't know how many times he had walked on the sea, and he had no idea when to set off and how to go with a high probability of not being caught.
Naturally, he was very knowledgeable - when a few people spotted a large ship in the distance, he was so shocked that he froze.
"Well, that's not a coastline patrol boat. This place has long been beyond their patrol range." He looked at the binoculars for a few seconds, and when he turned his head, his face was pale. "That's a... I've never seen one before."
...It looks like a frigate!"
The snakehead didn't know, but Xie Feng and Dong Luorong knew very well - Qiu Changtian's death must have been discovered.
Just the death of a security minister may not have led to a pursuit of soldiers in such a distant sea area in a short period of time; but the circumstances of his death and the confession of the surviving guard can prove that the person who escaped
One of them is an evolver - it's not surprising that warships are dispatched.
Another thing that was not surprising, but that no one expected at the time, was that the warship opened fire on them without even sending a communication to confirm its identity.
What to do if an innocent person is killed? This question seems to have never been a problem.
Xie Feng actually had a vague memory of the moment when the hull of the ship was hit by a cannonball, as if her memories were blown to pieces like the ship.
She remembers a deafening thump, she remembers fragments of white light flashing in front of her eyes, she remembers Dong Luorong's hand slipping out of hers, and that she was hit hard by something, thrown high into the sky, and then
It hit the sea with a "snap", which was so painful that she seemed to lose consciousness for a moment and a half.
Children in Tears City generally have good water skills, but even Xie Feng felt as if she had been swimming desperately for a lifetime before she finally swam back a little bit, and finally saw a few blurry and white fragments on the dark waves——
She could hardly recognize what part of the ship it was.
Among them was a larger one, which seemed to be the shadow of a broken deck. It drifted more slowly than the other fragments. Several seconds passed before it actually drifted far away, as if there was something heavy hanging on it.
When Xie Feng realized this, he immediately became energetic, kicked his feet, plunged into the water, and swam towards it at full speed.
"Here," a distant call made Xie Feng, who reappeared, suddenly feel disappointed - it was the voice of the snakehead.
The snakehead put one hand on the deck and barely exposed his head, shouting at her desperately: "Help us, Miss Dong is injured!"
Xie Feng almost burst into tears.
Maybe the tears really fell, but she couldn't distinguish anything between the sea water and the rain. She didn't know how she swam to the broken deck. She reached out to fish it out, and sure enough, she found it on the other side of the snake's head.
I touched a person - when she was fished out of the water, her black hair was wrapped around Xie Feng's arm. Her body was so cold that even the blood that was constantly pouring out of her body could not feel any warmth.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Xie Feng pressed his fingers on Dongluo Rong's carotid artery, realizing that she was still there, and also realized that he was actually more afraid than anyone else. "I'll save you, I can save you, you see.
Look at me..."
Miraculously, Xie Feng's voice seemed to bring back a little of Dongluo Rong's sanity. In Xie Feng's arm, she softly made a whisper-like voice; it was not like the moans of being soaked in the cold sea after being seriously injured.
But it was like waking up from a long dream and falling asleep again.
"I'm fine..." Dong Luorong whispered, "It's just a little painful..."
Any sane person would realize that it was impossible to save her. But Xie Feng did have another way. This way was not until he held Dong Luorong in his arms that he suddenly had a strong impact on her.
of nerves.
"I can, I can make another item," Xie Feng said with pleading, "I suddenly felt that I can make another item now..."
"There is no... desk lamp." Dong Luorong seemed to be smiling.
Not only the desk lamp, there is nothing in the vast black sea at this moment that meets the qualifications to be made into an object.
But there is one person who fits the bill.
It turns out that people who are dying can...can be made into humanoid objects.
Xie Feng held Dong Luorong in his arms and was trembling all over for a moment. He couldn't tell whether it was cold or fear.
"Are you... willing to stay with me forever?" Xie Feng buried his head between her ears and neck. Her blood hit Xie Feng's lower abdomen. Before it had time to warm up, it was washed cold by the sea water.
."As...as an object?"
In just a short moment, Dong Luorong seemed to be speechless.
She seemed to be losing consciousness. If Xie Feng hadn't kept calling her, she might have gone away long ago. Xie Feng didn't know if he was selfish, maybe he was, but if Dong Luorong couldn't answer, she——
Can she make the decision for her?
Dong Luorong suddenly moved. Xie Feng thought it was the waves undulating at first, but it wasn't until she struggled and moved again that Xie Feng realized what she was doing.
That heart-shaped silver pendant, [Compare Hearts to Hearts], has not expired yet and is still hanging on Dong Luorong's wrist.
The effect of [Comparing Hearts with Hearts] can only cover one person at a time; when the snakehead suddenly came back to his senses, as if awakening from a deep dream, Xie Feng had already taken his place, completely immersed in Dong Luorong's body.
In mentality.
"...I don't want to."
She obviously didn't speak, but Xie Feng heard her.
"My whole life... I have lived as an object. I am a decoration, a painting, a lucky charm, an object of money, a target of sales... but I am not a human being. My life has been changed a long time ago.
Being taken away and no longer my own, my wishes, dreams, likes and dislikes... have never been asked. If I can't live according to my own wishes, then I would rather... no longer live."
She seemed to smile again.
"I am very satisfied to finally reach the sea."
...It's true, she is indeed very satisfied.
In the next few minutes, everything was blurry. Xie Feng had this experience when she was a child: she was scolded by her mother and felt aggrieved. She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe evenly, and her brain was dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
, so that apart from crying, it seemed like nothing existed outside of me.
The difference at this moment was that she didn't know whether she was crying or whether she was smiling contentedly because of Dong Luorong's influence.
Later, two things finally broke through her dream-like unreal state.
One is the snow-white searchlight. As the warship approaches, it tears apart the black curtain covering the sea.
Second, under the searchlight, she could clearly see the snake's head still hanging on the deck. He was staring straight at Xie Feng, his eyes getting bigger and bigger, farther and farther, and he was gradually turning to the sides of his head.
Past. He looked like a praying mantis, a sea mantis.
